added text (Labels, not Buttons):
Text Effect Shadow:
Here the text is drawn with variable transparency in black (depending
on the transparency rather gray) at the given offset
(X-Offset/Y-Offset in pixel) behind the 'real' text. This effect is
only visible in the preview and on the final DVD of cause.
Transparency: 0 (full black) to 99 (full transparent=not visible)
Default=50
X-Offset: Displacement in X-direction (in pixel). Positive values mean
'right', negative 'left'
Y-Offset: Displacement in Y-direction (in pixel). Positive values mean
'down', negative 'up'
Use shadow effect by default: Automatically set the shadow effect (with
the given values) for all new added text labels.
You may switch on or off the shadow effect for each text label
individually.
See TextDialog
Example (with default values: X-Offset=5, Y-Offset=6, Transparency=50)
Text Effect Block: 3D Effekt
Here the text is drawn with variable brightness (same color as the
text) to the given offset (X-Offset/Y-Offset in pixel) behind
the
'real' text. This effect is only visible in the preview and on the
final DVD of cause.
Brightness: 0 (full black) to 99 (same color and brightness as the text
label itself)
Default=50
X-Offset: Displacement in X-direction (in pixel). Positive values mean
'right', negative 'left'
Y-Offset: Displacement in Y-direction (in pixel). Positive values mean

Text Effect Outline:
Here the text is drawn with variable color at one pixel offset in all
directions behind the 'real' text. This effect is only visible in the
preview and on the final DVD of cause. The Outline effect may be used for buttons also.

to get a standard color selection window. This is only a default value.

higher value for the X/Y-offsets for shadow). The effects Block and
Outline cannot be combined (neither with or without shadow).
